Home improvements

I have finally finished my bedroom;




I love it! It's much calmer and peaceful. I need to find this for the rest of the house now or I might just spend my days  in bed! LOL

I do want to get new accessories, I would like a lampshade as I don't have one. Also a bedside lamp as I knocked mine over whilst decorating and have broken it. It's glass so is now quite dangerous. I have spotted a lampshade I like and it is currently on sale for £7.99 so I shall be going back in the week once I have been paid I just need to find a lamp ion the colour I want (purple). I also would like to finish my new purple crochet blanket and eventually I would like a different duvet set with purple tones in it. The duvet is not essential though as there is nothing wrong with the couple of sets I have so will wait until I find a bargain somewhere.

This project has cost in total
£20 for the grey paint
£10 for white paint
£13 for gloss
£17 for floor paint

So a total of £60. However I still have half a tin of white gloss which will be used elsewhere in the house and there is a little white emulsion in the tin and 1/3 of  the floor paint left. All will be used up in future projects.

  2. Your bedroom looks lovely. Purple is my daughter's favorite color and she has touches of it in her bedroom, too. Have a wonderful weekend... :)

  3. Did you have to sand the floors? What a job that is!
    It looks great on a tiny budget.
    All the best

    1. Thank you. I did sand the floors all with my poor little electric palm sander, took a while but was worth it.
